Raymond Paps Gaines released! (wrongful conviction)

Raymond Paps Gaines has been incarcerated for 47 years, he fought many years for his life to prove his innocence. This case is a prosecutorial misconduct and BPD corruption. This system has stole 47 years from Raymond and his family. Raymond was a father when he was incarcerated and now he is coming home to his beautiful grandchildren.

47 years is almost a lifetime in it self. The system almost let an innocent man die in prison while serving two life sentences for a crime he did not commit. Community members and organizations like New Beginning ReEntry Services , Families for Justice as Healing and The National Council for Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls came together using an organizing strategy called Participatory Defense to prove Raymond's innocence.
